Just keep in mind that the FA 50mm has exactly the same field of view as the DA 50mm. Lots of confusion about this, but all lenses with a given focal length will have the exact same field of view on your camera. Just lenses made for a smaller format might have dark edges/corners (vignetting) because they don't cover the whole sensor/film plane. Also, the DA 35mm f2.4 and FA 35mm f2.0 have the same field of view.
That being said, the DA 70mm ltd is a very beloved lens, as is the DFA 100mm macro
Just wait, one day you will save up and won't be able to resist anymore
